A Comprehensive Pentatonic Formula

All right, here we go...
So when you get down to it...more than 80% of modern music one hears is simple pentatonics. This is true not only of guitar music, but also for voice, piano, wind instruments, ect. So without further adeu, I give you the most efficient (and easiest) way to learn the Major/minor pentatonic scale for the entire fret board in any key.
1.) A "Pentatonic" scale means a scale with FIVE TONES.
2.) A Major Pentatonic scale is a Major scale WITHOUT scale degrees 4 & 7
3.) A Minor Pentatonic scale is a minor scale WITHOUT scale degrees 2 & 6
4.) Each Major Pentatonic scale has what is called a RELATIVE minor scale
(For example C Major Pentatonic is relative to a minor Pentatonic)
5.) There are 5 and only 5 "Pentatonic Boxes" that once learned will enable you to improvise/play in any Major/minor Key. For the Minor Boxes I will add the b5th so that you will know the all minor blues scales to ---THESE WILL BE denoted by a "B"
6.) In order to add an extra dimension to pentatonic playing,(and prevent it from sounding repetetive) I highly recommend that your study of pentatonics NOT be limited to the 5 boxes, I will give you a movable 3-Octave Blues scale formula that works for all tonal centers.
These patterns are cyclic-meaning that they progress up to 5, and then continue further up the neck, by starting the cycle over on a pattern 1.
Major Pentatonic-Pattern 1 Box

I couldn't cram the Last five notes on b/c of sizing issues, they are
E|12-11-10-/8-5-|
You can move this 3 octave blues scale to start on any fret on the fat E-string.
Hope all this lesson helps (-:
